Don’t waste water

Water restrictions, as of 5 April 2012, do not apply in Whitchurch according to Southern Water.

Whilst other areas are now under water restrictions Whitchurch is not, according to Southern Water.

Southern Water stated,

Our water customers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will not be affected by restrictions at this time, but we are asking them not to waste water.

They explained why there is no restriction for Whitchurch:

During drought we can experience very different supply shortages depending on how the drought has developed, even where drought conditions appear to be very similar.

Despite the lack of rainfall across the South East, different supply areas respond differently. As a mixture of different sources supply different regions, each source reacts in different ways to deficiencies in rainfall.
